Reminds me of that mog Ger Canning referring to the Munster Championship as the Munster and the Leinster Championship as the Leinster, etc. That's just not what people call them, very annoying. He annoys me in general though, he tries to be an articulate fancy pants but doesn't have the brain capacity to pull it off, and just ends up confusing himself in a really cringing way. I remember there was a wide in the first minute or two of the 2002 All Ireland Final and he said "it's gone over the bar". When he realised that he was wrong he said "in fact it's been disallowed", not disallowed Ger, just wide. His absolute worst has to be this though, when the scores were getting a bit difficult to calculate in a goal fest Munster championship match between Cork and Waterford-

There�s one classic one from around the mid-eighties that my uncle recorded off the radio. Apparently, the actor and crew recording the ad finished up early in the studio and recorded a spoof. Unfortunately, the wrong tape got sent to RTE...

The dialogue went, as near word for word as I can remember:

�And when Oul� Mr Brennan was asked to reveal the secret of his bread, sez he � heh!heh! � �would you f*** off and mind your own f***ing business!� Course, he was always good at the oul repartee.�

Got played three or four times one afternoon apparently. Anybody else ever hear it?

I know it's like shooting fish in a barrel, but the opening line of this article made me laugh out loud:

Under the headline: Why do priests still perform exorcisms?

Quote:

Of the approximately 70,000 exorcisms he has carried out, Father Gabriele Amorth estimates that fewer than 100 have been cases of genuine demonic possession.

70000 exorcisms?! How long does one take? Eight years is 70128 hours. So assuming an exorcism takes one hour, and the article says he's in his 80s, then he's spent at least 3 hours a day, each and every single day of his life performing exorcisms.

Edit - actually, his wiki credits him with ten exorcisms a day. And another 20,000 in the ten years since his retirement.

Why? His opinion is quite plausible. I'd say much fewer than 100, but there you go. :)

I remember being impressed by the number of Polish fans that turned up at the friendly against Poland in Dublin a couple of years ago (November '08 maybe?), seem to be a passionate bunch.

Fancied Ireland to beat England in the cricket. 100/1 were the odds but didn't get time to get to the bookies before and during work. Absolutely kicking myself.

That's because people on this site have a wicket sense of humour. Don't know why: it stumps me! Still, as long as they include a few petit fours, we'll all be happy!

Let's hope no-one pays the 'penalty' for these ridiculous puns- that should be our main 'goal' before we get ourselves into a 'corner.'

I dont do the old sleep lark very well recently and last night was particularly bad, was after 3 when got to snooze off and had a nitemare at about 4.30 and couldnt get back to sleep til after 5. Unfortunately had to do an early school run (youngest was heading to Cork to sing in some choir comp) and collect my dad off airport bus so was up from just after 7 so only a few hours of shut eye was had. Now I am absolutely shattered and feel like I could fall asleep standing up, but I cant go to bed as I have to collect said youngest off bus from Cork at about 3.30 in the morn. So if I am not on here or facebook tomorrow, dont panic, I am not dead, I am just sleeping.

Well, my virtual compadre's - I've had an eventful couple of weeks.

I am now the proud parent of 3 boys. My wife recently gave birth to twin boys. Absolutely delighted.

After much deliberation, we have decided to not use the foot.ie endorsed naming combo of "Romulus and Remus".
